[Someone may have been drinking, so the clarity of this message might be a little off. He toasts the screen with the mostly empty tumbler.]

Couple thoughts for you-

Don't forget we have some young children on board. Just keep that in mind if you're spouting off about something- you know- really traumatic or whatever, you guys know what I'm talking about, it could harm or upset them. Just.. don't be a dick to the kids. Be a dick to someone else. K?

Also, there have been a couple of ideas floating around for platform days and ways to welcome new people- which is great. I remembered a charity from back home for kids who were stuck in the hospital over Christmas and thought we could borrow that idea. If you have a spare 10 team points you're willing to donate by purchasing a mascot, I'll be- or someone.. maybe Peter, I don't know- but bears will be given to any new kids who show up. Oh, and they come with little hoodies, see?? So we could use people from other teams.

[As he's talking, you can see in the background, Ignis entering the room. Unfortunately someone else noticed he was there too.]

Hey! Tiger! Wave to the camera.

[Ignis frowns and quietly comes over and turns the ICP off.]

~~~~~~

[A short time later, Tony opens the chat again for an additional comment.]

Okay, due to some really generous souls on board, let's keep it to two donated bears per person, okay? Also, does anyone know what the souvenir is?

[Because Raven is enjoying being able to be....well, as social as she ever gets. Now that she's not sick. So she's not at all fussed by going to find Tony. If Ignis is there, that's perfectly fine with her.

A knock against the wall or door where ever Tony is, to let him know she's there.]

Not sure everyone would want a mascot. A sleep aid set might be more useful for some people. If we ask Charlotte, she might be willing to make some basic bags and we could have different orientation kits.

[Ignis turns at the sound of Raven's voice and he smiled slightly. The ideas were sound of course with them coming from her but he was quiet until she was finished speaking.]

Concurred on the ideas, but how are you feeling?

[Because Mama Iggy's gotta do the mama thing first.]

[Tony was hanging out in the standard carriage. It wasn't the most common place for him to be, but it was where the train store was and had enough room for him to do some work and Ignis could have a comfortable seat to read or glare at him in. You know, whichever was most appropriate at that given moment.

He looks up from where he was sitting on the floor with his back against the front wall. It was where he often taught his classes. The work was grading papers, making some kind of chart, and like two other unrelated projects.]

Hey Raven.

[He considers her idea but then rolls his eyes good-naturedly at Ignis' question.]

That is a good idea. The bears though are for some fun. I would be willing to help if anyone needs those sleep aids. You're a teen, I assumed you were too old to want a bear. But what about Madoka or Buttercup aged kids? Think they'd not want bears?

[As roundabout as that was, he is legitimately asking if that age group would be put off by his bear idea.]

I don't know Buttercup as well. I'm sure Madoka'd like it. I'm also better, Ignis, or I wouldn't be actively seeking people out.

[There might be a hint of smirk at her mouth.]

I remember what Tony was like as a patient. I don't need that headache again.

[There was a slightly amused look in the green eyes at the comment about being better. And then Ignis smothered a laugh. Tony might give him shit but in the end the older man knew that his advisor would get his way.]

So we're trying to figure out age ranges for welcoming gifts..is that what I'm to understand here?

[This was directed at Tony but Raven could pipe up too.]

Buttercup might not realize it, but she'll like it once she has one.

[Or not. She was a very unusual child. He hoped the idea of a toy might grow on her. He looked up and the advisor.]

No, she's trying to figure it out. I'm making people buy bears for kids.

[Raven resisted the urge to role her eyes.]

A care-package of welcome might not be a bad idea. I'm extrapolating from Tony's initial thoughts.

[Then she directed her attention to Tony.]

I don't mind buying you a bear.

[Ignis couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face as Raven mentioned buying Tony a bear. It was a very endearing thought.]

A bear might be quite helpful at some point.

[That's really all he was going to say.]

[Tony flashed Raven a grin. He really did enjoy their friendship built around antagonizing each other.]

See that? She wants to buy me a bear. Isn't she sweet?

[Pause.]

What about a basket of treats? People like food.
